OK I feel old because I had to look this up on Wikipedia. Had no idea there was ever a 'gummi bear' cartoon! But horrific wreck either way!wv: poupled. This cake looks like a gummi bear poupled on the table

Ah - so nice of you to publish a child's art work. They expressed themselves with..... pooh. Ah, no, um. Mud? Hmmm... maybe not. Um, they expressed themselves..... with..... cake? Ah, well, anyway --- they EXPRESSED themselves. That's the important thing. Most eloquently, they created their own version of a ...... bear? Yeah. Ok.

Jen- Love you so much. I tried to sing that song for my husband the other day, and he had never seen the cartoon, so he looked at me like my brain was made of gummi. Sunni and Grammy and the little one... ahh, childhood memories.

@mimi You know, The Disney Afternoon should be revived so The Adventures of the Chocolate Goo would gross us out!

WV - chessemeI got cheesed already not only because this year marks the 20th anniversary of The Disney Afternoon, where The Adventures of the (Real) Gummi Bears were featured, even if they were made 5 years before that block we 90's kids remembered watching.

ROTFLOL - I was totally singing the Gummi Bears song right out loud, cheerfully earning myself a cross look from the hubs, when I scrolled down and . . . well THAT happened. Fortunately I read the comments, so now I have "Ducktales" with which to amuse myself. Yay

I actually invented this in honour of my father when he died. I am sure he would have appreciated the scientific principal being employed with it and been suitably grossed out but the entire concept... It was perfect. I could imagine him going "bleacccchhhh" but drinking it because I made it.

Gummy Bear Cocktail4-5 Gummy Bears (more or less, as desired)1 beer, in a glass (more or less, as desired)

Pour the beer and drop the Gummy Bears in.

Just like the classic "ginger-ale and raisins" science experiment, the bears will rise and fall within the beer as the carbon dioxide bubbles form and break on the surface of the bears.

And it doesn't taste gross because the bears don't actually impart any flavour to the beer.

Umm does that thing look like an alien ate it's face to you? It did to me and boy with the song and that..shudder.. thing staring at me I now will be up for days drinking coffee and wishing I could find the wreckerator lol. Two songs came to mind and My Favorite Things seems to be winning..help me.. lol

Did you see the Steampunk wedding cake by Christopher Garren's Let Them Eat Cake? It was on "Amazing Wedding Cakes" on WeTV. It was phenomenal... epic, even!! I tried to find a photo, but couldn't. I did find their FB page, though, and they have Steampunk doors for their new addition to their shop. You have to check it out!

I actually have that cake mold. I, too, made a brown bear, but with the appropriate finishing decorations it can actually look like a teddy bear. I never noticed the gummi bear resemblance until you pointed it out. =)

This was awesome because I got really, really into the song as I was reading it. And when it got to "GUMMY BEARS!" I was totally pumped, and then...just...disappointed. You did a good job here. It made me happy. (Also, I know that song in Swedish. I don't speak a word of Swedish, but I can sing the Gummibears theme in it.)

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
